After years of putting more emphasis on veteran players than on their younger players and not getting the results they wanted, the Dallas Mavericks are finally doing something about that strategy.
Yes, the Mavericks will still try to sign one of the top free agents this summer. But they won’t go all-in while chasing a big fish, knowing that they’ll lose other potential “smaller fish” in the process.
Such was the case in recent years while the Mavericks were pulling out all the stops in pursuit of Dwight Howard, Deron Williams and DeAndre Jordan.
The big plan this off-season is to use their top 10 draft pick to draft wisely, and also develop a cast of young players who they strongly believe could have a bright future in the NBA.
